Scottie had many interests including badminton which he played and coached, camping, fishing, hunting, reading and research. Scottie maintained a strong connection to his roots and frequently visited his birthplace and hometown, Little Bay East. Following his retirement he and Joan maintained a seasonal cottage in Little Bay East where Scottie exercised his love for gardening. He spent much time researching and documenting the genealogy of his own and other families of the area. He was particularly fond of engaging in conversations with locals and family who provided wonderful stories for his research all of which he penned into a journal of the Scott family history.
